RETALIATION: If the white employee is not able to reflect and taken responsibility, white structures may be enlisted to restore their psychological equilibrium (as the good white person they are) and/or out of vindictiveness

EXCLUSION: The POC becomes the the trouble maker. If the level of organisational toxicity is high, structures may marginalise or discipline them. If the POC complains, the same cycle will be likely reproduced.

@Mwenyi Thanks for sharing, Mwenyi. It's important for everyone to understand the experience of PoC as it relates to micro-aggressions and retaliation. This is really helpful for me to have a greater understanding myself. Much appreciation. 🙏🏼

@stephen I'm glad you're finding it helpful! You'll find other insights in the comments of the tweet as well 🙂
